Content Creation & Strategy

• Build and manage Docker’s developer-focused organic content pipeline for social media — including memes, threads, explainers, carousels, short-form video scripts, and live commentary.

• Write sharp, concise, and voice copy that reflects the Docker brand and a point of view: technical, smart, funny, and culturally fluent.

• Collaborate across teams to surface stories and amplify strategic initiatives
  

Community Engagement & Listening

• Show up authentically in dev spaces — Reddit, Discord, LinkedIn, GitHub, etc. — to engage, learn, and contribute

• Monitor developer conversations and translate community insights into content opportunities and product feedback

• Build relationships with influential developers and creators across platforms
  

Voice & Editorial Leadership

• Bring a consistent, confident, and opinionated voice to Docker’s content

• Develop editorial POVs on industry trends, developer pain points, and emerging conversations

• Maintain an agile, real-time cadence that responds to what developers care about today
  

Performance & Optimization

• Analyze content performance to inform content types, formats, and posting cadence

• Run content experiments to test headlines, formats, tones, and styles

• Identify growth loops and user-generated content opportunities to scale developer engagement
  

Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of experience in developer content, social media, or dev advocacy — ideally inside a dev tools, OSS, or SaaS org

• Must be a Docker power user with hands-on experience and a deep understanding of the developer ecosystem.

• You are a developer who’s built or shipped apps and used Docker in real-world workflows

• Deep knowledge of developer platforms, tools, workflows, and subcultures

• Self-starter with high creative energy, strong judgment, and a collaborative spirit

• Experience engaging with online technical communities (e.g., Discord, Reddit, GitHub discussions)

• Bonus: video scripting/creation experience or social video storytelling chops
  

• Immerse yourself in Docker’s products, roadmap, and brand voice

• Integrate into all current content workflows — assist with copywriting, selecting memes, community responses, and injecting developer POV into active campaigns

• Audit our social presence and community spaces to identify gaps and opportunities

• Begin engaging on social channels under the Docker brand

• Propose your first batch of content ideas and run 1–2 quick wins to build momentum

• Build an ongoing editorial calendar based on dev priorities, product launches, and cultural moments

• Launch a steady cadence of high-performing, original content across core platforms

• Establish a tone guide and content formats aligned with developer trends and Docker's voice
